'''Apache PDFBox''' is an open source pure-[[Java (software platform)|Java]] library that can be used to create, render, print, split, merge, alter, verify and extract text and meta-data of [[PDF]] files.

[[Open Hub]] reports over 11,000 commits (since the start as an Apache project) by 18 contributors representing more than 140,000 lines of code. PDFBox has a well established, mature codebase maintained by an average size development team with decreasingincreasing [[Year Over Yearwikt:year-over-year|Yyear-Oover-Yyear]] commits. Using the [[COCOMO]] model, it took an estimated 3646 [[person-year]]s of effort. <ref>{{cite web|author=&nbsp;|url=https://www.openhub.net/p/pdfbox/ |title=The Apache PDFBox Open Source Project on Open Hub |publisher=openhub.net |date=2017-03-18 |accessdateaccess-date=2017-03-18}}</ref>

==History==

PDFBox was started in 2002 in [[SourceForge]] by Ben Litchfield who wanted to be able to extract text of PDF files for [[Lucene]].<ref>[http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Apache-PDFBox-and-FontBox-1-0-0-released-932436.html Apache PDFBox and FontBox 1.0.0 released], The H Open, 16 February 2010</ref> It became an [[Apache Incubator]] project in 2008, and an Apache top level project in 2009. <ref>[https://incubator.apache.org/projects/pdfbox.html PDFBox Project Incubation Status]</ref>

Preflight was originally named PaDaF and developed by [[Atos|Atos worldline]], and donated to the project in 2011.<ref>[https://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/pdfbox-padaf.html PaDaF Preflight Codebase Intellectual Property (IP) Clearance Status]</ref>

In February 2015, Apache PDFBox was named an Open Source Partner Organization of the [[PDF Association]]. <ref>[https://www.pdfa.org/new/apache%c2%99-pdfbox%c2%99-named-an-open-source-partner-organization-of-the-pdf-association/ Apache™ PDFBox™ named an Open Source Partner Organization of the PDF Association], February 3, 2015</ref>
